Saranathan College of Engineering was established in 1998. It was born out of a thirsting
desire of our Founder Secretary Shri K. Santhanam to venture in the field of Technical
Education. The college was named after a great educationist Shri Saranathan, who had the
privilege of being the Principal of National College, Trichy for 26 years.
The College is the outcome almost entirely of the tireless efforts of Shri K.Santhanam,
Secretary.
Shri K. Santhanam was a leading chartered accountant and a
close associate of former President Shri R. Venkataraman. In
recognition of his service to the cause of education, he was
conferred the title „Vidya Seva Ratnam‟ by Maha Periyava
of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam.
The setting up and nurturing of Shrimati Indira Gandhi College and Saranathan College of
Engineering is precisely the contribution of “Vidya Seva Ratnam”, “Guru Seva Mani”
Auditor Shri K. Santhanam. Shri K. Santhanam was also the uncontested secretary of the
National College Council for 30 years. He stands unparalleled as an Educational Administrator.
The Department of Information Technology was established in the year 2001. It offers
undergraduate programme in Information Technology. Our Mission is to provide quality
education to the students and impart IT excellence in them. We also provide individual attention
